Lovely looking pen Paul. The Zebrano looks spot on !!!!
You've done a great job on that wood Paul
Where is the pen kit from Paul?
Rather lovely - that Zebrano grain looks painted on! That kit is sold by pen kits UK as the Churchill ...
On closer inspection it's close but not the same - sorry!

They're not too bad woody but the top doesn't screw onto the body which puts people off a bit. I bought a bunch of them so use them up now and again.
I bought them on ebay when someone was selling off the last of their bunch but I think they've re-appeared as Churchill pens or similar
I should have read your post before replying... you beat me to it.
Thats a beaut Paul, XCut Zebrano is brillaint when finished this good....

Paul,
Sorry to say this but its not a kit that does anything for me, far too much plastic and not enough weight behind the pen. You've done a nice job on the cross cut zebrano. Did you use liquid sanding sealer as a base for the finish or was it naturally a brown piece of zebrano?

Paul with this pen (I have no idea how it feels) it shows something few kits do for me when opened it looks good, easy to match the grain when closed, most other kits are all metally ungainly when open or joined at the top for me one major reason i confess I love Slimlines.
